The distributed energy generation system market is growing with a considerable rate due to increasing awareness among consumers about reducing carbon footprint, standard shift in generation of energy to green technology, and government incentive schemes. The adoption of distributed energy generation systems technology in emerging markets and development of eco-friendly distributed energy generation systems are expected to provide ample growth opportunities to this market to grow in the coming years.

Europe leads the distributed energy generation system market due to financial support by the local governments in the region and investments by the distributed energy generation manufacturers. The 2004/8/EC directive active from 2004 has been providing favorable business environment to the distributed energy generation system manufacturers. The financial incentive schemes by governments and availability of cheap labor in Asia-Pacific are alluring the companies to increase their investments in the region. Asia-Pacific distributed energy generation system market is expected to grow at an exponential rate in the coming years due to increasing investments by the manufacturers in the region.

On the basis of technology, the distributed energy generation system market can be categorized as micro turbine, combined heat and power (CHP), solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, fuel cell and reciprocating engines. Micro turbine market is expected to grow with an exponential rate in the coming years due to its properties such as lightweight, small number of moving parts, low operational cost, low emission and compact size. Combined heat and power (CHP) market is expected to lead the distributed energy generation system market among the technology category due to its environment- friendly characteristic.

Based on end users, the Distributed energy generation system market can be categorized as buildings and institutions, residential, and commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial sectors lead the end users of distributed energy generation system market owing to re-usability of accessible resources such as industrial waste and heat energy. On the basis of applications, the distributed energy generation system market can be categorized as off grid system and on grid system. The off grid system is expensive as compared to on grid system; however, the former has an edge of having storage capacity and ability to provide continuous flow of energy.
